17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a pivotal moment in history. Created by Louis Nicolas van Blarenberghe in 1784, this gouache on paper artwork depicts the climactic scene during the American War of Independence. In this detailed composition, we witness the defeat of British forces by their American and French allies. The central group showcases an intense battlefield where soldiers from both sides clash fiercely. Among them stands General George Washington, a key figure in American history whose leadership played a crucial role in securing victory. The significance of this event cannot be overstated as it marked the turning point in the war. Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown effectively ended British control over America and paved the way for its independence. This historic triumph resonates through time and remains etched into our collective memory. Blarenberghe's masterful brushwork brings life to each soldier and conveys their determination and bravery amidst chaos. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously portrays their uniforms and weapons with accuracy. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and celebrates those who fought for freedom against all odds. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period in history while honoring their legacy that continues to shape nations today.
